Wide photograph from a very low camera tilted up. A cobalt fluted concrete wall cuts the frame edge to edge on one hard diagonal, filling the lower left, its flutes converging in strong perspective, each flute a slightly different value of the same cobalt. A pale cyan sky fills the upper right with a thin bright coping line along the join. A woman in a matte scarlet wool coat stands on the join, cropped at the thigh, one arm thrown across her body and the other raised with the hand flexed open, the scarlet holding its hue in shadow so the body reads as one flat shape. Hard sun, three saturated hues. Imperious and theatrical, the body used as pure gesture.
